MARK FIGHTING IN IRELAND
 For any one interested in Boxing, My eldest son is fighting in Belfast Ireland 5am Sunday Morning Aussie time.
He is competing for the Commonwealth Super Bantam Weight Title.
This is a biggie for him and probably the only chance he will get at this sort of Title as he is getting up in age 33 and this is considered fairly old in the sweet science...boxing that is for the uninitiated.

Good Luck Mark we are so proud of you ....Win Loose or draw.

 Good luck for Mark and you.

My cousin was a boxer for the Commonwealth Games in 1984 - fought a Kenyan.

A fire a few years ago - and he lost all his blazers and uniforms and memorabiila.

I still have one photo of him in his competing trunks.
